My Favourite Blog Posts – Words to make sense of myself and the wonderful world we live in… Walk A Book Blog – Michael Earp
I love words. I love them by themselves (how great is snizzle – a drizzle of snow) but I love them even more when they are strung together to create beautiful images, amazing action or gut-wrenching feelings.

I am avid reader of blogs and collector of quotes. Imagine my excitement to find a blog post full of word images, drawn from many of my favourite books. It’s one of my all time favourite blog posts. It lives on the Walk A-Books blog and you can find it here.

Sandy, you are too kind!

Thanks again.
